aiohttp: Serve single static file
Currently there is no built-in way of doing this; however, there are plans in motion to add this feature.
# include handler path
app['static_root_url'] = '/static'
# path dir of static file
STATIC_PATH = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "static")
app.router.add_static('/static/', STATIC_PATH, name='static')
# include in template
<link href="{{static('/main.css')}}" rel="stylesheet">
I wrote App, that handles uri on client (angular router).
To serve webapp i used slightly different factory:
def index_factory(path,filename):
async def static_view(request):
# prefix not needed
route = web.StaticRoute(None, '/', path)
request.match_info['filename'] = filename
return await route.handle(request)
return static_view
# json-api
app.router.add_route({'POST','GET'}, '/api/{collection}', api_handler)
# other static
app.router.add_static('/static/', path='../static/', name='static')
# index, loaded for all application uls.
app.router.add_get('/{path:.*}', index_factory("../static/ht_docs/","index.html"))
Currently, as of aiohttp version 2.0, the easiest way to return a single file as a response is to use the undocumented (?) FileResponse
object, initialised with the path to the file, e.g.
from aiohttp import web
async def index(request):
return web.FileResponse('./index.html')
